I saw this commercial on TV last night. It may have been on awhile, but I don’t watch many commercials owing to using a DVR and skipping over them. But I thought this A1 commercial was sort of amusing.
I like it!
A1 that is.
And meatloaf.
And Meat Loaf.
Talk about zoned out. I missed that it was actually Meat Loaf singing even though the opening scene was “Meatloaf Manner”. I recognized the voice right off.
Oh, and I could drink A1 sauce. Love it.
The ad was made by my agency, though A1 isn’t an account that I work on. I’ll pass comments on to those who did, however. 
But isn’t Mr Loaf putting on the A1 late? Shouldn’t there have been a pool of it caramelizing in a pool atop the the meatloaf for the past hour?
ETA: Okay, I’m more a ketchup man, but it doesn’t look like he’s using nearly enough of his condiment of choice. Like French fries, meatloaf is merely a vehicle for its condiments, a bland lump of calories that cleanses your palate before the next, intense bite.
But what about this commercial?:
It’s cool, but where does it mention ketchup?
Like a bat out of hell, the steak will be nommed.
Tr0psn4j, devouring steaks since 1986.
Do add my compliments at a fun commercial also.
I am already addicted to A1, so I would already be buying it … but I enjoyed it anyway =)
Please tell me that Meat Loaf really lives at Meat Loaf Manor, and really has that sign out front.
I prefer Worcestershire, actually.
A1 is OK, I’ll take mine with a topping of ketchup, grated horseradish & brown sugar mmmmm
OK, that phone commercial is just wrong, on multiple levels. A song about a guy begging a girl to have sex, with a father and son substituted in? No. Just no.
And Tiffany! You can’t forget Tiffany.
I really don’t like seeing the songs of my youth whored out for advertising. But I do like meat loaf, Meat Loaf, and A-1.
“I Would Do Anything For Love” is a song of your youth? Whippersnapper!
Oops…turns out that song is more recent than I thought, coming out in 1993. I was thinking it was on the 1977 Bat Out of Hell album. In 1993, I was 28 and in law school.
A1 Garlic is better than the original by far.
I’m 40, but I hang out with my 23-year-old neighbor. Of course Bat Out of Hell is carved in my memory and one of my all-time favorites, but he thinks of Meat Loaf as the “Anything for Love” guy. At karaoke he didn’t even know “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad”.
I can’t blame him, but from where I sit it’s nuts. Especially when he does know a lot of oldies and classic rock.
